Bath re-enamelling for Sutton Common homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sutton Common

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we are called out for in Sutton Common

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton Common

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sutton Common

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Sutton Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sutton Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
